A group of men wearing suits, including H. H. Lake (fourth from left), pose during the July 23, 1932 dedication of the Gregory Monument in Mountain City near Central City, Colorado. The site was marked by a bronze plaque noting it as the place where gold was first discovered by John H. Gregory in 1859. The rocky vein where Gregory made his discovery is behind the group. Large rocks are in the foreground.
